Product Reviews

"Arrived 3 days earlier than expected.
Is very lightweight, yet robust.
Excellent Craftsmanship.
Beautiful teal-blue lining interior.
The first of 3 large sections work out very well for Laptop (Closest to your back / and that zipper area does not fully extend down the side / therefore extra protection against the laptop falling out)
I use the middle section for my journal, purse and newspaper.
The largest front section holds my tech items/mouse, power cords, ear buds, etc.
The small top outside pocket is reserved for my work badge.
I have yet to decide if I shall use the lower front pocket.
The nylon back is very comfortable.
The shoulder straps are excellent. Their position is perfect on my back, and does not droop or slack.
** One thing that could have been improved upon was the padding between my back and the laptop section; and the base of the pocket of this section."

"The backpack is very well constructed, and has fantastic vintage looks.
Had I not read other reviews, I would have assumed this was of "complete" leather construction. This has a nylon back and straps. In my day to day use, I find that this is a positive rather than a negative. Easy on, easy off and not so hot on your back. The photos can be misleading so be aware of this. If you must have a completely leather backpack, this one is not for you.
I use it every day and find it so much easier to deal with than a briefcase. Particularly when traveling (think airport and pulling additional baggage). I wish the large pocket in the 3rd compartment was closed at the bottom, having items lost at the bottom of the pack can get annoying.
All things being equal, this is an excellent value and I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a more "mature" vision of a backpack. I am senior manager who consistently gets positive remarks from my peers on the looks and functionality of this backpack."

"This bag is the best I have ever purchased. And for the deal offered it is a steal! Buy it before they run out! The material is a luxurious supple leather that looks and smells rich! What amazes me is that while it is smaller than most other backpack briefcases. It has so many compartments!! It holds everything that my bigger bag had quite easily with room for more. I had this for a week and just discovered a new compartment! It is very comfortable on the back and can fit easily under the seat in planes. Since it is shorter than many other bags, it is not top heavy when you stack it on top of your roller suitcase or over-nighter. I wish they had added the extra gusset that will help you slide this over the roller bag pull up arms...that would have been nice. But since it is short, I can easily hang it by hook in front. Actually that makes hauling it easier and lighter. What can I say, I just love this bag...and after all it's a SOLO!"

"I finally needed to replace my old Swissgear Victorinox backpack. The Solo looked like the perfect candidate. As I started to transfer my items from one to the other, it was soon clear the Solo is lacking some things such as a keyring tab for holding keys securely, more inside zippered pockets and a way to secure the bag onto a rollaboard suitcase. Other than that, I love this bag. As previous reviewers stated, it is very high quality and looks very professional, not like you are in college. The leather smells nice and it has very clean lines. I can't wait to take it on my first business trip!!!
I recommend this bag for the professional that likes to look like a hip executive!"

"I set out to find a classic, professional, leather bag that would protect my laptop; I found what I was looking for in this bag! I received the bag July 7, 2012 and began using it immediately for school. It has been used everyday (Monday through Friday) since this time. I ride my bike or walk to school and the backpack still looks brand new! The straps are very comfortable on my shoulders because they are made of cloth and have padding in them. The entire back of the backpack is made of the same material as the straps and is very comfortable when sitting against my back. The material matches the leather of the backpack exactly so it does not distract from the beauty of the leather. I receive compliments from other students as well as faculty members all the time! I recently brought it as a carry on bag and it held up well through the airport security belt and screening process. I Love this bag and with the low price compared to other leather bags it wins my Vote! I assure you will not be disappointed in this bag!"

"Best purchase of all time - and I do alot of purchasing. I was finally able to stop buying backpacks and pocketbooks after buying this one. Pocketbooks will no longer stay up on my shoulder and I carry too much stuff to carry by handle.
Felt I needed a backpack to replace hand bag but I also wanted a fairly professional or at least mature bag.
I thought leather would help but most affordable leather backbacks have flimsy straps. Most packs with sturdy straps look too casual and are too bulky.
The straps on this bag are padded and are much sturdier than the picture suggests. But they are not too much. The dark brown color of the leather and the sturdy build establish the mature look I need and when I put it down, it stands up no matter how much or how little is in it. Zippers are durable and easy to use.
I wanted multiple sections for papers & files, organized sections for wallet and misc items. This one has several different sections for papers and several for odds & ends.
Also wanted a light colored interior lining that would make it easier to see what I have in the bag. The blue/teal lining in this one serves that need perfectly.
I needed lightweight bag that can hold a laptop on rare occasions.This bag does start out with considerable weight due to its sturdiness and it gets REAL HEAVY quickly. Never too heavy for me once it's on my back.
Bought it over year ago; use it daily and it doesn't show a bit of wear.
It looks 100 leather but the part that rests on your back is not leather.
Caveats:
-I did buy another pack for my laptop - one that is big, bulky and not of leather.
-No real big open spaces so I can't use it for any real large or bulky items and not good for "everything but the kitchen sink."
No external bottle holder but I often put a small thermos inside it.
-When I need to carry alot of serious paperwork including binders I still need a briefcase."

"I was looking for a commuter backpack that had a more professional look to it. I found this one and was very pleased with the look and feel for the money. The pockets are fairly well organized and the lighter interior color (teal) makes finding things easier. The pack has a "medium" size to it (which is ideal for daily commuting) but I've found that I can pack it quite full if I really need to. The straps are well padded and build construction is excellent. I've been using it daily for six months and have no complaints whatsoever. It even does quite well in the wet Northwest weather."

"Have owned this bag for over 2 years! The durability is amazing. I sling the bag over one shoulder & always pick it up by the same strap over & over several times a day. That one side looks more worn, but is not readily obvious. When my 15" Macbook is inside along with a lot of other stuff, there is a lot of stress on the bag. You wouldn't know it to look at how good the condition of the bag is after 2 years or more. Incredible wear & tear! If you want a bag that is functional, good looking, professional looking, (I bought this after going back to grad school because I love backpacks & was tired of carrying bag that looked like a students backpack), and will last for years..... this is the bag!"

"I've been very happy with this backpack since the moment I received it. I'm an editor, and it's my commuter bag to and from work every day; I wanted something that was more professional-looking than a sports backpack but would also hold up to rain and snow and daily abuse. It's made of very rugged, pebbly dark oiled leather that never seems to show dirt or scratches. The back panel is heavy-duty nylon and the interior is nylon-lined. The pockets are perfectly organized for me, including a handy small zipper pocket up top where I keep my commuter rail pass. The laptop pocket (which I use mostly for my iPad) is well padded and in the middle of the bag rather than against the back or the outside. It's a very roomy bag. The leather handle on top is tough and has stood up to a lot of flinging around. It looks like a much more expensive bag than it is; I'm often asked where I got it and what brand it is. If I have any tiny complaint, it's that the placement of the straps is a bit wide for most female shoulders, so they ride a bit to the outside. Still secure and well-balanced, though. A key leash would be great, but I use one from another bag clipped onto a zipper tab. Overall a tough, handsome, well-made backpack that I would highly recommend."

"My laptop dimensions are 14.75x10.5x.75 (15.6 screen) and it fits well in the laptop compartment, as well as in the center divider. The blue interior, while not as bright as some suggested, is not as expensive- or classy-looking as the leather exterior. The color is deep and rich, a slightly lighter brown than the stock images and the style is great for either women or men."
